Test Drive Unlimited has gone beyond the ordinary for racing games. Most in the genre usually take place in real world locations and recreate sections of a city so that you can race through them. Test Drive Unlimited has removed all of those boundaries and mapped the entire island of Oahu with so much detail that people who have been there will likely recognize the scenery. All of the roads are there for you to drive on at your leisure or race on in pre-made or custom courses. It's expansive and seamless, allowing for near-limitless racing possibilities. Even better, the line between single-player and multiplayer racing has been nearly erased. Unfortunately, the racing mechanics and car customization don't keep up with the driving freedom, but that's not enough to keep it down. Test Drive Unlimited may have come out first for Xbox 360 last fall, but this PC port came through largely intact for a nearly identical experience.
